    Black Diamond Discs

    All fitted and pretty much bedded in. Followed the Stop Tech bed in procedure which works really well and quickly. Look nice too
  2. Doh! Didn't realise this, this is my first FS thread, will do that next time
  3. Not sure if anyone will be interested in these, but they've only been on the car for 4000 miles/3 months. Only selling as I've upgraded all the discs and pads to Black Diamond. Not sure on the make of the discs but from Googling the model number on the pads they appear to be made by 'Blueprint', so I can only assume the discs are the same make. Obviously no lip on discs or crumbled pads and they stopped the car no problems. All pads equally worn with 9mm of material which I believe is what they actually come with. Were fitted to an 07 HR with Brembos. Pads £20 inc postage. Discs £40 collected from Horsham, W. Sussex or add £10 for postage due to weight. Cheers.
  4. QD and a microfibre, always carry this in the car! I always do this between weekly washes if it gets surface dust on it or rain marks (not if it's heavily soiled though). I use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe which doesn't streak and also has the benefit of being anti static so discourages build up of dust. Also enhances wax and smells great!
  5. Thought this might happen when I changed all the pads on my Brembos yesterday, but soaked the bolts for 30 mins in WD40 and they came out nicely. They were done up incredibly tight though and it wasn't easy getting a breaker bar in the right position to crack them. As above, if you are drilling them out go for tungsten carbide drill bits or cobalt. I used cobalt on a wheel nut that snapped on a previous car and it went through them like a hot knife through butter.
  6. Saw this just now, 53 plate with Rays and Brembos. Anyone here? I was parked a few spaces down but your car was still there when I left so you probably didn't see me.

    cheap tyres.

    Try Pneus Online. My tyres are £50 cheaper than Camskill for two.
  8. Stock box plus HKS or Cosworth panel filter/s if you're looking for the best performance wise.
  9. Brilliant, thanks for the advice guys Hoping to do a lot of the driving Sunday morning to avoid other road users.
  10. For what it's worth, that screw extraction set from screwfix is crap. I bought them for use on another car that had a sheared bolt and they snapped on first use. Bought a set of cobalt drill bits instead and they went through the metal like a hot knife through butter.
  11. Has it done it since the service? Could be a incorrectly gapped plug/damaged plug?
  12. I use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe after washing and drying and between weekly washes as a waterless wash. It's an anti-static QD and does a fantastic job at giving a great shine and also prolonging the life of wax.
  13. Have done, but wanted some recommendations from locals. Will check them out, cheers.
  14. I can't imagine how loud these are? I have the resonated version and to me it is bloody loud! GLWTS.
  15. I'm going up to Gloucestershire next month for a little road trip with the other half and will be spending one of the days in Wales to do a bit of driving and I'm after some advice on a decent route to involve the best roads. Monmouth will be the closest place to where we're staying (Forest of Dean) so we can call that the starting point. I know there's a yearly meet in Wales so was wondering if anyone can offer some advice on the routes used there? Thanks.
  16. Could be spark plugs, misfire perhaps? Had a similar thing on another car once.
  17. Followed you for miles down the A272 all the way to Horsham along the A24. You went straight on into Horsham and I carried on down the A264. Anyone on here? Number plate ended in TKN I believe.

    Black Diamond Discs

    Thanks for all the advice. Went for the BD discs and pads from CS Will update once I've fitted them.

    Black Diamond Discs

    No reason really, thought they were the best to go for but of course open to suggestions. The BD pads sound good.

    Black Diamond Discs

    I did look at the yellows, but don't they produce a load of dust? Although to be fair it's silly to go for one pad over the other because of the amount of dust produced.. I thought I read that yellows shouldn't be used with grooved discs?

    Black Diamond Discs

    Doh! Should have checked in your forum, it was your online store where I saw them too!

    Cargo Net

    PM the usual traders, I got mine from Steve at Redline Styling on here for £35 delivered
  23. Hi guys, Looking at changing all 4 discs to the Black Diamond slotted discs and the pads to EBC Red Stuff. Does anyone run this setup/these discs and if so what do you think of them for road/fast road use? I've not heard of Black Diamond before and can't seem to find much info on them. I'd love to run the DBA discs and Ferodo pads but can't quite justify the price for road use. Also going to swap the brake lines for HELs at some point.
